Building an Effective Contract Playbook for In-House Legal Teams
Event Description
Contract playbooks serve as vital tools that streamline and standardize the contracting process, ensuring consistency and efficiency across an organization. They provide in-house counsel with predefined templates, clauses, and negotiation strategies, which help manage the high volume of contracts effectively and mitigate legal risks. With a well-developed contract playbook, in-house counsel can expedite the review and approval process, reducing the time spent on each contract and allowing legal teams to focus on more strategic tasks.
Join us on Tuesday, July 30 at 9am PT / 12 pm ET for the next edition of our IHC Fundamentals Series, Brian Chase, GC of ServiceChannel, Ariana Goodell, Senior Privacy Counsel at Verkada, and Kathy Zhu, CEO and GC of Streamline AI, as they share key strategies for developing and maintaining a best-in-class contracting playbook.

- Practical rollout strategies: Learn actionable steps to tailor and deploy a playbook, including setting up effective strike zones, crafting compelling talk tracks, and fostering collaboration between legal and business teams.
- Integrating technology for efficiency: Explore how new legal technology tools can embed playbook guidelines in automated contract reviews, ensuring streamlined processes and reduced risk.
